prefix_ref_iterator: don't trim too much
The `trim` parameter can be set independently of `prefix`. So if some caller were to set `trim` to be greater than `strlen(prefix)`, we could end up pointing the `refname` field of the iterator past the NUL of the actual reference name string. That can't happen currently, because `trim` is always set either to zero or to `strlen(prefix)`. But even the latter could lead to confusion, if a refname is exactly equal to the prefix, because then we would set the outgoing `refname` to the empty string. And we're about to decouple the `prefix` and `trim` arguments even more, so let's be cautious here. Report a bug if ever asked to trim a reference whose name is not longer than `trim`.
